What are common mistakes that people who are new in learning programming make?

Question

Or common mistakes to become a programmer?

Answer 1

A common mistake is that you can become the best programmer after a week or a month, when in retrospect it is a continuous learning process that you get better at over time.

A big mistake some people have is also thinking that having vast knowledge in programming makes them a good programmer. While writing a one liner is impressive, you typically need to be able to think critically and design tests for your code so it doesn't break when someone else uses it.

Answer 2

Not doing research on everything they don't understand. Also, not practicing.

Copying codes from others programmers without thinking first on the problem and how to solve it by themselves.

Not planning their code. A good number of programmers don't make a plan and encounter many difficulties along the process of development.

But the worst is to get anxious to learn a new thing without truly learned the present/previous thing.
